About the job
A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.
As a Design for Quality Manager at Google, you will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability and robustness of our hardware products. You will lead a team to collaborate closely with design, engineering, and manufacturing teams to identify potential quality and reliability risks early in the product life-cycle and develop innovative solutions to mitigate them. Your expertise in design for manufacturing (DFM), Quality control, and reliability engineering will directly impact the quality and success of Google's hardware portfolio.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $183,000-$271,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.Responsibilities

- Lead and participate in cross-functional design reviews and use Failure Mode and Effects Analysis and other risk assessments to proactively identify and mitigate potential failure modes in the design.
